A Small Hope
Yahoo recently created a “time capsule” in which anyone can contribute something meaningful (worth remembering) to them for the year 2006. They broke it into different categories such as fun, love, and etc. In about 19 days the page will be closed down and not reopened till 2020 in which it will displayed at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C.. Knowing me, I decided to contribute something of my own. I don’t know if Yahoo will accept it or not but this is what i wrote:
“In the year 2006 on the month of November, I will have reached a 1 year long relationship with my boyfriend. During this 1 year course we have endured a lot of hardship within ourselves, our families, our friends, and our society. A lot of the times we are forced to hide our feelings, our smiles, and even each other. We have overcome so many obstacles in our relationship and can both honestly be proud to say that we were loyal to each other each in everyway. We supported each other, cried to each other and embraced everything the others had to throw at us. In 2020, I hope that homosexuals will be greatly accepted, and that the smile that my boyfriend and I both share today will be appreciated in its deepest meaning. LOVE. If people in 2006 could only understand that love is not limited to man and woman then the gap between our society of gays and straights would be at a minimum.”
Most people would expect this to be categorized in the time capsule as love. I wanted to put it there at first, but decided to put it under HOPE instead.

Awww Cookie. You’d think that society would’ve gotten used to us already. We’ve been here since before Jesus. One day we will be able to say “I Do” without anyone objecting to us. One Day…
